However then her coaches submitted an inquiry upon her behalf. In accordance with NBC Olympics, “an inquiry is a verbal problem of a routine’s rating. It’s adopted by a written inquiry that should be submitted earlier than the tip of the rotation. The problem can solely be introduced ahead after the gymnast’s closing rating is posted and earlier than the tip of the following gymnast’s routine.”
If the gymnast is the final to compete, there’s a one-minute time restrict that begins after the rating is proven on the scoreboard, in line with the Worldwide Gymnastic Federation (FIG).
The scoring inquiry was a few cut up leap in Chiles’ routine known as the tour jeté full.
“Within the staff qualification, within the staff closing, she didn’t get credit score for this ability,” Olympian and NBC gymnastics analyst John Roethlisberger mentioned in the course of the broadcast. “Within the preliminary analysis of the ability, the judges didn’t give her credit score for that. I talked to Cecile and Laurent Landi, her coaches, and so they mentioned, ‘We thought she did it a lot better right here within the closing. So we thought we’ve nothing to lose, let’s put in an inquiry.’”
After reviewing Chiles’ routine, the judges accepted the inquiry and credited Chiles 0.1 for the leap, bumping her rating as much as 13.766 for third place.
Because of this, Chiles—who burst into comfortable tears when she noticed the outcomes—gained bronze. In the meantime, Barbosu, who’d already been waving Romania’s flag in celebration of her personal efficiency, misplaced her place on the rostrum.
